Day 29 – Smart People

I’ve had a great privilege of working with really smart people. It makes going to work every day a joy.

Today was a great opportunity to set around the table with a dozen brilliant scientists, statisticians, and researchers. We discussed a new research study, the details of the science, and the action that will need to take place to make it a reality.

The meeting only lasted 55 minutes but it set a fantastic tone for the next two-and-a-half years of research.

I’ve never been known as a bright man. It’s true.

Funny? Yes. Sincere? Usually. Loving and honest? Always. A man of science? Never. But surrounded by these men and women of studies and science, these amazing people of knowledge and training, gives me a sense of pride.

The journey through this next year will require diet changes, increased activity, renewed spirit and energy and an effort to surround myself with brilliant people. Perhaps a little of their smartness will rub off on me.
